One wonders if; hypothetically, Anders family and friends were killed in some high profile event, he would be ok with us claiming that they never existed in the first place, and accused him of being a gov't paid crisis actor? Would he be ok with CTs calling him up and harassing him?

When you need attention just say something unfounded and the adults here will correct you..........

Irrelevant. He's not interested in any corrections, because that would mean he might accidentally learn something. That's not why he's here.

AL is a demonstrated liar and confirmed troll who, like a monkey flinging waste from the safety of its cage, will say any idiotic and deliberately offensive thing for the sole purpose of getting the grown-ups to pay attention to him. Don't indulge the liar; don't feed the troll.

That did it. I routinely clear my ignore list from time to time. After all, on occasion someone comes round and starts to make sense. Anders is usually one of the first to make it back. I think I can safely make it permanent this time. I can take idiocy, but tastelesness as a disaster seems to unfold is just too much for my stomack.

So, it's not as if your suspicions have value. Tell, if you are satisfied who is helped? If you're not who is hurt?

We need to look at the incident rationally. I will wait with letting my heart go out to anybody hurt by the incident until I can confirm that it actually was a real event. At the moment indications point to the incident being a huge hoax.

Hey! Could the incident be a New World Order move? The 9/11 attacks were focused on the U.S. and to some extent the rest of the western world. This Asian PsyOp seems global in scope.

So, what, then, is the purpose of the event? To make the whole world's media and politicians etc compromised! Because no authority anywhere in the world basically will dare to tell the truth. So the public powers, experts and authorities all over the world will be forced to do a coverup.

So now the shadow powers can tell the whole global public power structure: Implement our New World Order agenda, or else we will expose your lies to eagerly awaiting angry masses.

So what you're saying it doesn't matter one way or the other if you're satisfied or not. Got it.

"Security and aviation experts continued to offer starkly disparate theories about what happened to the missing plane, a measure both of how unusual it was for it to disappear from radar without any distress call as well as of how little information the Malaysian authorities have released." -- http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/10/wo...t.html?hp&_r=0

I'm philosophically opposed to Ignoring users rather than simply ignoring them, and have only put two names on the list. I scrubbed my list when dr sox died and lo and behold, anders reappeared. It may be time to fix that.

I'm not infallible, like the Pope. Only if I'm satisfied for the correct reasons does it have rational bearing.

I am surprised you are still able to garner serious responses. Most here in the CT forum know you post ironically, yet many still reply as though they think you are serious. Still, fun for the lurkers.

It had to happen; some buffoon screaming "hoax" when an airliner crashes

For some people, the whole world must be one big hoax.

Anders, Air Traffic Control is a lot more complicatd that you might think and certainly much more complicated than how it is depicted in the movies. Aircraft in flight are not always covered by radar because control zones (properly called Controlled Traffic Regions or CTRs) don't necessarily overlap. An airliner somewhere out in the middle of the Atlantic might not be in anyone's CTR, therefore not on any kind of ATC radar, and even in the unlikely event that they were on someone else's radar (say, a ship at sea), they would not have the flight's IFF codes programmed in, so they could appear on that radar along with a dozen other blips and no-one would realise who they are.

South Asia is quite a busy airspace. Once an aircraft has left the their departure CTR, no-one will be "controlling them" and they would simply be expected to arrive at their next CTR probably a way-point or their destination. It is not inconceivable that the civilian ATC would not detect an airliner turning around (out of radar range) and the military ATC will be busy controlling their own aircraft, and while their radar equipment might detect such a turn, they may not even notice unless someone specifically asks them to go back over the record and have a look.

Now, that is some serious trolling...lol

Could you come up with something original like a plane suffered a technical failure and crashed?

He could, but his Smurf Cabal handlers would use their sooper seekrit Vatican mind control technology to prevent him posting anything about it, because it would interfere with his mission of making conspiracy theorists look ridiculous.

Reason: I had forgotten to mention the Vatican.

According to military radar, the plane turned back. Are you questioning that report? Also, do you believe the plane disintegrated in mid air before or after the supposed U-turn?

Not necessarily. I don;t think there is anything untoward in the military ATC saying that the plane turned back and the civilian ATC not knowing this.

There is also nothing unusual in a plane turning back when it was in trouble. I have been on a flight that did exactly that (an Ansett ASA flight from Adelaide to Perth) back in the 1980's.

The stolen passports seem real, yet the incident itself smacks of a hoax, as a media diversion from the Ukraine situation.

"Malaysia Airlines flight MH 370

... After the airline released a manifest of the 239 people on the plane, Austria denied that one of its citizens was on the flight as the list had stated. The Austrian citizen was safe and sound, and his passport had been stolen two years ago, Austrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Weiss said.

Similarly, Italy's foreign ministry confirmed that no Italians were on the flight, even though an Italian was listed on the manifest. Malaysian officials said they were aware of reports that the Italian's passport was also stolen but had not confirmed it." -- http://edition.cnn.com/2014/03/08/wo...html?hpt=hp_t1
